clubmoss leafy moss

Mnium lycopodioides is a leafy moss in the family Mniaceae, one of the larger and more conspicuous moss genera in the northern hemisphere. The name lycopodioides refers to the resemblance of the erect stems to those of clubmoss (Lycopodium) plants, with their regularly arranged, relatively large leaves. Mniaceae mosses typically have large, bordered, toothed leaves arranged in an erect to ascending posture, making them among the most easily recognizable mosses in the field. M. lycopodioides grows on moist mineral soils, rotting logs, and rock faces in boreal and temperate forests across a circumboreal distribution, occurring in northern Europe, Asia, and North America. It favors shaded, humid environments with adequate moisture year-round. Mniaceae species are important components of the boreal and temperate forest floor, contributing to moisture retention and providing microhabitats for soil invertebrates. The species is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN given its wide distribution and relatively abundant occurrence in intact boreal and montane forest habitats.

jaguar

アメリカ大陸最大のネコ科動物で、体重は最大100kgに達し、がっしりとした筋肉質の体型と特有のロゼット模様の毛皮を持つ。メキシコから南アメリカにかけて分布し、アマゾンやパンタナルが主要生息地となる。優れた水泳能力を持つ頂点捕食者であり、獲物個体数の調節に重要な役割を担う。森林破壊により生息域が縮小し、準絶滅危惧に分類されている。
